    Verdict

    Eland Ally is starting to look well handicapped and his fifth at Redcar was a big step up on a couple of dismal efforts last year. Ashpan Sam was placed twice over 6f last month while Cats Eyes was third at Beverley 12 days ago and makes more appeal than the frustrating Dorback. BOXING SHADOWS may be happier back over 5f and can make the most of his weight-for-age allowance with Archie Stevens struggling for form at present.
